The Boston Marathon bombings and the 16-day government shutdown top the “trending events in the U.S.” section of Google’s 13th annual Zeitgeist collection, a round-up of the people, places, and events that garnered the most attention on search this year.

Not surprisingly, tragedies in Boston, Moore, Okla., Syria, and the Philippines dominate the list, in addition to ongoing coverage of the controversy in Syria and the Zimmerman trial verdict. Cultural milestones in the ranking include the selection of Pope Francis, the birth of Prince George (the Royal Baby), and Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s victory over Canelo Alvarez in a boxing match that generated $150 million in U.S. pay-per-view revenue, thus becoming “the highest-grossing pay-per-view of all time,” according to Showtime.

According to Google, “The ‘trending’ queries are the searches that had the highest amount of traffic over a sustained period in 2013 as compared to 2012.”
